picnic in the rain...

buddy wants to have his apple outside for a picnic... and asked me to get him his umbrella so that he could stay dry!!

maybe we should get that zoo membership....

"Mommy, Owl is a chicken."

"um no, owl is an owl... that's his name and what he is."

"no mommy, he a chicken."

what we found in buddy's hair..

Dear Three Year Old:

Diaper cream does not make a good substitute for finger paint. Also, your dresser does not need to be painted with any medium at the moment.

Love, Mama

The big Install...

I actually installed the stereo and faceplate and lighters and switch panel about a week ago, but I didn't want to post about it without a picture. Tonight I was out power washing the boat and I got a pic.

I'm really happy with how everything came together. The radio is kind of cheesy, and I have to make speaker boxes yet, but it all looks good and I can swap out pieces as need be.


Tomorrow is launch day, and having waited to post this means I am behind and will have a stockpile of stuff to post up over the next few days. I also have the boat in the lake and that means I can go play. Hmmmm - post here or play there. We'll have to see which wins out. In the meantime you can enjoy my new (but sprayed upon) panel, and newly varnished woodwork. One drawer is still waiting for its turn to be varnished, can you tell which?

Timbuktu

Buddy has decided to climb into one of the boxes that I used to bring in groceries today.

Chuckles is trying to convince me to send him off to Timbuktu. She even has the tape out & ready!!

the world is his urinal.

my son just ran past the upstairs toilet, past the downstairs toilet, and ran outside.... so that he could pee behind a tree!!

just in case....

In case anyone was wondering, if I ever manage to lock myself in the chicken coop, I can in fact get out.

Not that that happened or anything.
